There were also a group of men (landlords and company directors) who had a good laugh by burning an effigy of Grenfell, and I can't imagine that in China these men would continue to live upper middle-class lives. People genuinely get 'cancelled' there, and sometimes that's for the best.

There are entire books about this! And the answer is “bragging to journalists about how cleverly they had shitehoused their own party to defeat”, “sending Times journos pissy WhatsApps” and “fretting in case someone shouted ‘LOL you suckup wankers’ when they unveiled the sixty foot Union flag”.

Donald Trump is the planted flag of every crook and rapist. He is the lost cause of the south. He is the vice of the slave master, the shadow that clouds his superego at all hours, the sweat on his brow that makes him never end in his gluttony, lust, and greed. He is spiritual excrement incarnate.

The rise of AI-as-everything and the rise of violent-extremism-as-politics are two sides of the same coin, and not because of any actual intersection between the people making AI and the people doing extremist politics—they are just the same abdication of doing the work to have an actual society.

Starmers entire project is one of profound pessimism and borderline irrational hatred of idealism as a corbynite value. He (or mcsweeney or whatever) basically has the entire country trapped in a doom spiral because he thinks thats a mature decision

When a big media company uses genai slop instead of human made art, it is not just taking a job away from one artist to make that thing but *multiple* artists involved in all the things.
The entire artist-hiring pipeline gets destroyed in favor of chugging from the hot dogshit pipeline.

"I supplied everyone but the typewriter factory. I sold AI generated essays to students, AI detectors to teachers. I even sold image generators to the chuds when they were memeing on my fellow techbros. Never sold to Peter Thiel - not on any moral grounds, in those days his checks always bounced."

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Sorry to use terms like 'Libidinal Economy' on the app for weird radlibs and distressing Furry art, but the mechanism here is building structures in which a person can have fun - posting botched surgery pics at trans people, gabbing with your TERF gal-pals, proximity to JK Rowling...
Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:
Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.
Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.
Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

The USSR produced some of the best cinema I've seen in my life, to be quite honest, and it's partly *because* of the system it was produced under. Imagine trying to get Stalker made in the Hollywood ecosystem
When anti-communists ask, "Well what kind of art will be made under socialism/communism?" show them Solaris.
